cries are giving rise to exciting de-
bates in Congress. A bill was intro
duced by Senator Edmunds from the
Committee on Foreign Relations,

dent of the United States shall be
satisfied that American fishing ves-
sells OF fishermen are denied or
abridged in the enjoyment of rights
secured to them by treaty or law or
otherwise unjustly vexed, harassed or
restricted he may, by proclamation,
deny the vessels, masters or crews of
| the British dominions of North Amer
lea, entrance to United States ports,
those driven in by distress, stress of
weather or needing supplies as to the
President may seem proper, excepted,

may deny entry in United States ports
of fish or any other products or goods
of said dominions. Senator ingalls,
thought those fisheries disputes must

declaration of war on the part of the
United States"
